Each year my Mom and I make hundreds of gingerbread men for family and friends. The picture above is of my dining room table right now! I can remember doing this every year since......forever! I love tradition! I lived in Taipei for a year in 2000-01 and my Mom and Dad sent me 24 cookies to help me get through the holiday season, get this, not one arrived broken!
Next mission, decorating and packaging!

Dear Sprout's mom,
I don't think I have ever seen so many gingerbread men in one spot in my life!! You are amazing! That is a great photo! And such a fun tradition for you and your mom to continue. And what a sweet photo of the well-used recipe. Memories forever.
Hugs,
Joni
WOWza! That's a lot of little men! I made gingerbread men for friends one year and attached a little note that said "Perfect Man! He's cute, he's quiet and if he gives you any trouble you can bite his head off!" Teehee
I LOVE THIS TRADITION TOO.....SASSY FORGOT TO TELL YOU NANA RUNS AN APARTMENT BUILDING FOR MEN DOWN AND OUT ON THEIR LUCK LETS SAY SOME GOOD GUYS SOME NOT SO GOOD !!! IF YOU GET WHAT I MEAN.
EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS THE GRANDCHILDREN AND I LAY ONE OF THESE LITTLE GINGERBREAD AT EVERY DOOR ........... SOME OF THE BOYS HAVE THEM HUNG ON THEIR WALLS SOME JUST MUNCH THEM DOWN !!!
SOME SAVE THEM IN HOPES SOMEONE MIGHT COME BY TO SEE WHAT THEY GOT ON XMAS EVE. IT TEACHES MY GRANDCHILDREN A VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE........ I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO TEACHING FOSTER AND BRODY AND BRAYDEN THIS LITTLE KINDNESS.
